《The Vampire Titan》Team Meeting
Advertisement
The next morning, I awoke to something jumping on my stomach.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a green squirrel staring at me. Shocked, I sat straight up, knocking the animal to the floor, and making the covers fall down, revealing me in my strapless bra.
The animal grew to the size of a short human, and then took the form of a blushing Beastboy. "Um... I... Uh... Sorry," he rushed out before turning into a cheetah and sprinting out of the room.
I just laughed at the green fellow's retreating back. I climbed out of bed and stretched, yawning. Then, using my super speed, I dashed into Starfire's room across the hall, grabbed my bag, and zipped back.
I hummed to myself while picking out an outfit - which ended up being my favorite pair of black, stretchy pants with my white, flowy shirt. Digging around in my bag, I found my black high heeled boots and pulled them on. I never did like makeup, and only wore it on special occasions, so I didn't bother.
I glanced in the mirror, and saw my hair was a tangled mess, so I combed it with my fingers, then nodded to myself. I then skipped out of my room and made my way to the living room.
Right before I stepped into the room, however, I froze. Yesterday, when we were walking through, that one wall was all glass. I had to run through just to get to Starfire's room. What do I do now?
"Hey Krystalyn," Cyborg said from behind me. "Sleep well?"
I nodded, smiling. "The best sleep I've had in quite a while, actually," I admitted.
He chuckled, walking past me into the main room. "C'mon, I'll make breakfast."
"Um... Cyborg?"
"Yeah?" he asked, turning towards me.
"Um... Is there a way to, like, make the sun... You know..." I trailed off.
Cyborg looked confused, but then realization dawned on him. "Oh yeah! Give me a second," he said, holding up a robotic finger. I chuckled as he ducked through the doorway.
I heard a lot of banging and rustling, and heard Beastboy ask what Cyborg was doing several times (all of which Cyborg ignored). Another minute, and Cyborg was back, opening the door wide, letting me see metal shutters covering the window, giving the room a lockdown look and feel.
"Thank you," I said, smiling.
Cyborg gave me a mock bow, then rushed to the small kitchen area, preparing food.
No one else was in the room except for Beastboy, who was avoiding my gaze. I just laughed at him, and ruffled his hair.

"Relax B," I chuckled. "No harm, no foul, right?"
He blushed a bright crimson, shrugging.
"Wait, what did I miss?" Cyborg asked, glancing up from his cooking.
"Beastboy decided to wake me up," I smirked, "and caught me in a not so decent manner."
Beastboy blushed more as Cyborg roared with laughter. After they calmed down, I began to ask questions.
"So," I started, "how long have you guys been a team?"
Cyborg shrugged. "A few years."
"Yup, that's us! Teen Titans forever!" Beastboy exclaimed.
I smiled at his outburst. The door opened, and Raven stepped through, gliding through the air.
"Why is it so dark?" She asked.
"Sorry," I shrugged. Raven just raised an eyebrow, and chuckled softly.
"So where are Robin and Starfire?" I asked.
Cyborg shrugged while flipping an egg. "Robin is probably in the training room, and Starfire might be on the roof."
"You have a training room?" I asked.
"We have a place outside where we train, too," Beastboy chimed.
Cyborg placed a plate of bacon and eggs in front of Beastboy and I, grinning at his work.
"Ew!" Beastboy shouted. "I can't eat this!"
I raise my eyebrow at Raven, who had sat down next me. "He's a vegetarian," she explained, and took his plate.
I just rolled my eyes and chuckled.
"Friends!" Starfire exclaimed, floating into the room. "Outside, it is bright, but inside, it is dark. Why?"
I blushed, fumbling with my fork. "Guilty," I mumbled.
Cyborg smirked at me, and placed another plate of food in front of the alien girl. "I spoke with Robin," Starfire said, with a faint smile. "He says that the team has matters to discuss. He says-"
Alarms started to blare, and I winced. Robin ran through the door, slightly sweaty. "Titans, trouble!" he declared, but it was unnecessary.
The others were abandoning their food, and dashing to the door. I sat there awkwardly, unsure of what to do.
Before I could ask, Robin turned to me. "We'll be back soon," he said. "Until then, hold down the fort." He smirked, and left.
I pursed my lips, and sighed.
Now what?
I didn't know anything about this place, and there was nothing to do. Looking around, I noticed the mess that was left in the kitchen. With nothing else to do, I shrugged, and began to wash off the plates.
With my super speed, it only took a few minutes. I then straightened everything on the coffee table, and soon, I was cleaning the whole tower. I left everyone's rooms alone, because I didn't want to mess up anything-plus, when I went into Beastboys room, I almost fell over because of the smell.

Two hours later, I had the tower sparkling on the inside, and I heard a car pull into the garage. I was sitting on the couch, reading a magazine I had found when the others came in.
"...I'm telling you, Cyborg, I could totally kick your butt-"
I looked up when Beastboy cut his sentence short. "What's up, guys?" I asked, trying to hide my laughter at their faces.
"What happened to this place?" Cyborg asked. "It's...clean."
I chuckled. "Very observant," I noted.
"Marvellous!" Starfire squealed. "It is lovely!"
"I really hope you didn't clean Beastboy's room, for your own safety," Raven said, and I chuckled at Beastboy's hurt face.
"I went into his room once, because I found some dirty clothes-which, by the way, why were socks in the cabinets?" I asked.
Beastboy blushed, then muttered something about a bathroom, dashing off.
Robin chuckled, then turned to me. "Thanks for cleaning up around here, but you didn't have to," he said, smiling.
I shrugged. "It's no problem. In my day, all us women did was clean the house. Besides, it's the least I could do," I told him, flipping the page in my magazine. "Ooh! Killer heels!" I exclaimed, pointing at a pair of stiletto boots.
"They look very uncomfortable," Starfire noted, looking at the picture.
"Oh, they would be fine," I said. "It's all about the look, if you ask me."
"Fashion is a waste of time," Raven stated, making some tea.
I laughed. "But Raven, you're so stylish!" I told her.
Cyborg muttered stuff about girls, then sat down next to me, grabbing a controller off the table. "Who's up for a round of video games?" he asked everyone.
Raven was meditating, Starfire was cooking, Robin had disappeared, and Beastboy was still hiding somewhere.
So, Cyborg turned to me. "C'mon Blondie," he said, holding out a controller. "You know you want to."
I laughed. "I've never played before. You would beat me too easily," I said, flipping the page on the magazine.
"Please?" Cyborg begged, giving me a puppy dog face.
I pursed my lips, unable to ignore the puppy dog face. "Fine," I sighed, and Cyborg whooped.
We played for an hour, and Cyborg beat me at every game. Finally, after my twelfth defeat, Robin walked in.
"We need to have a team meeting," he announced. Cyborg paused the game, Starfire stopped her cooking, and Raven peeped an eye open.
I stood up, and grabbed my magazine. "I'll get Beastboy on my way up," I told them, and Robin smiled in thanks.
I walked down the hall, thinking.
What were they talking about? Me? Probably. They're trying to figure out the best way to get rid of me.
I sighed as I reached Beastboys room, and knocked on the door. He didn't answer, so I knocked again-no answer.
I put my ear against the door, and heard the sound of gunshots from a TV. I rolled my eyes.
"Beastboy!" I called, banging on the door. "Beastboy!" I heard the TV being shut off, and a second later the door opened.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"Robin called for a team meeting," I told him, chuckling. "Team includes you."
Beastboy smiled. "Alright, I'm going," he said, stepping out of the room.
I crossed the hall to my room, and shut the door.
Now what to do?
-----Robins POV-----
Cyborg, Raven and Starfire were sitting on the couch when Beastboy came in.
"What's up?" he asked, sitting down in between Raven and Star.
"Krystalyn," I said simply.
"What about her?" Cyborg asked. "I like her."
Beastboy and Raven nodded.
"What about you, Star?" I asked.
She grinned. "She is marvellous!"
I smiled. "So what do to guys think about making her part if the team?" I asked them.
"Booyah!" Cyborg shouted.
"Dude, for real?" Beastboy asked.
I nodded. "What do you girls think?" I asked them.
Starfire was nodding so fast, I thought she would break her neck. I turned to Raven, who had a thoughtful look on her face.
"What?" I asked her.
"If she's going to be part of the team, she will have to be able to fight in the daylight," Raven said.
"Yeah, that's gonna be a problem," Beastboy said.
"You look like you have an idea," I observed, and Raven nodded.
"She said that her life was almost exactly like the show 'The Vampire Diaries', right?" Raven asked. Beastboy nodded, looking excited.
"I saw an episode of that once!" he exclaimed. "They had these rings that let them walk in the sun!"
Even Raven was smiling. "If I look around long enough, I'm sure I can find a spell to make a ring," she said.
Starfire clapped. "Yes! And I will help!"
"I will too," Cyborg announced.
I smiled. Krystalyn would be staying.
That is, if we could talk her into it.
